In the RPG mode, the game assumes a hack'n'slash style gameplay pretty much like Blizzard's Diablo. Actually, this mode also reminded me a lot of Nival Interactive's RPG Evil Islands: Curse of the Lost Soul. Although Once Upon a Knight doesn't include such an imposing diversity of items and foes like Evil Islands, character control and the basic gameplay are very similar. By the way, the commendable thing about the RPG mode is that it takes a different course through the main story. It basically gives you an opportunity to try out a number of chapters across several challenging maps. Unlike the RTS mode, you'll be able to customize your character before you begin, choosing from a range of classes such as, Barbarian, Knight, Archer, Spearman, Priestess, and Amazon Mage. After a while you'll be able to distribute experience points to the following features: charisma, stamina, fencing, block, charge, and bargaining.
